A left adjoint is a type of functor that, when paired with a right adjoint, establishes a relationship between two categories in which the left adjoint 'maps' objects in the first category to objects in the second category while preserving structure. In this relationship, for every morphism from an object in the second category, there is a corresponding morphism in the first category, reflecting a certain level of compatibility or duality between the two functors.
congrats on reading the definition of Left Adjoint. now let's actually learn it.
